Peach Sweet Tea

Ingredients:

  • About 6 cups water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 peach tea bags
  • 1 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Fill your tea kettle or saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. Turn off your heat and place the tea bags in to steep for one hour or more.
  2. While the tea is steeping, make your simple syrup by bringing your granulated sugar and one cup of water to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer until sugar has completely dissolved and reduced by half.  Please note: Be careful to not walk away because this happens rather quickly!
  3. Remove the peach tea bags, pour tea into the pitcher of your choice.
  4. Add your simple syrup (wasn’t that easy?) to your tea and refrigerate until nice and cold. Enjoy big sips!

Summer Tip: Make a little extra tea to use in ice cube trays. Place one piece of mint in each cube, fill with tea and freeze. As the frozen tea cubes melt they will add flavor to your tea instead of diluting it like ice cubes do.
